I hate waste, and when I do patchwork and other sewing projects I end up with a lot of little scraps of fabric.

The cotton pieces can be composted, but the synthetic fabric has to go to landfill, so I try hard to find ways of using them up and this jewellery project is a way to do just that!

Apart from fabric, I used some flat wooden beads, some gold paint, glue and ring blanks.

The first step was to paint the edges of the beads with gold paint.

Then I used mod podge to glue the fabric onto the flat surface of the beads.

Once dry, the excess fabric was trimmed.

Once trimmed, the ring blanks were glued to the back.

Once dry, they’re done!
